Ciro was born on July 3, 1942 and passed away on November 12, 2023. A proud veteran of the U.S. Navy, his contributions were not just limited to his service. He was the founder of Boy Scout Troop 727 of St. Pius X Catholic Church, which positively impacted the lives of so many young men in the community both then and now. He retired after a nearly 40-year career with the U.S. Postal Service, however, he remained active in the organization throughout the years. His greatest passion, though, was for his family, particularly his sons Sam and Rick. A fixture at their sporting events and other activities as they grew up, he was always so proud to don the colors and logos of his sons’ teams and support them to no end. We are so honored and blessed to have had the best role model as a father, mentor, and unconditionally selfless individual in our lives. He is survived by his sons Sam (Bianca) and Rick, and his adoring grandchildren Harlow, Kylie, Brooklyn, Niko, and Everett. He is also survived by his sister Leticia Molina (Juan).
